Tools required

Parts

• Dash speaker (tweeter) × 1 — Use OEM specification
• Trim clips (if damaged) × 2 — Honda 91503-SZ3-003 or equivalent

Preparation

1. Park vehicle on level surface and engage parking brake
2. Turn ignition off and remove key
3. Allow interior to cool if vehicle has been in direct sunlight to prevent trim damage

Procedure

1. 1

   Locate the dash speaker grille
   The dash speaker (tweeter) grille is located at the top corner of the dashboard near the A-pillar on the side you are servicing. It is a small triangular or circular grille approximately 2-3 inches in diameter.
2. 2

   Release the speaker grille
   Insert a plastic trim removal tool into the gap between the speaker grille and dashboard surface. Gently pry upward starting from the rear edge of the grille. The grille is held by 2-3 plastic clips. Work around the perimeter carefully to release all clips without breaking them.
3. 3

   Remove the speaker grille
   Once all clips are released, lift the grille away from the dashboard and set aside in a safe location to avoid scratching.
4. 4

   Access the speaker mounting
   With the grille removed, you will see the dash speaker (tweeter) secured by either Phillips screws or plastic tabs. On most 2018-2024 Accord models, the speaker is held by two Phillips screws at the outer edges.
5. 5

   Remove speaker mounting screws
   Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws securing the speaker to the dashboard mounting bracket. Keep these screws in a secure location as they are small and easily lost.
6. 6

   Disconnect the speaker connector
   Gently pull the speaker forward to access the electrical connector on the rear. Press the locking tab on the connector and pull straight back to disconnect the wiring harness from the speaker terminals. Do not pull on the wires themselves.
7. 7

   Remove the old speaker
   Once disconnected, remove the speaker from the dashboard cavity and inspect the mounting area for any debris or damage.
8. 8

   Install the new speaker
   Connect the wiring harness to the new speaker by aligning the connector and pressing firmly until you hear a click. Verify the connection is secure by gently tugging on the connector, not the wires.
9. 9

   Secure the new speaker
   Position the new speaker into the dashboard cavity, aligning the mounting holes. Install the two Phillips screws and tighten evenly by hand until snug. Do not overtighten as you may crack the speaker housing.
10. 10

    Reinstall the speaker grille
    Align the speaker grille with the dashboard opening, ensuring all clips are properly positioned. Press firmly around the perimeter until all clips engage with an audible click. Verify the grille sits flush with the dashboard surface.

Reassembly

1. Ensure speaker grille is fully seated and flush with dashboard surface
2. Check that no gaps exist between grille and dashboard trim

Verification

• Turn ignition to ON position (engine does not need to run)
• Turn on audio system and select a source with audio output
• Adjust balance and fade controls to isolate the replaced speaker
• Verify sound output is clear without distortion, buzzing, or rattling
• Test at various volume levels from low to moderate
• Visually confirm speaker grille has no gaps and is properly seated
